Hollidaysburg Aerial Photo, c. 1953         
Old Time PRR. Here is an aerial photo of the Pennsylvania Railroad's yards in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, taken around 1953. Looking East toward Frankstown, the Westbound Classification Yard is on the left and the Eastbound Receiving Yard is on the right. The roundhouse has been demolished, and preparations are being made to construct the half-mile long Samuel Rea Shop. All that remains from the "Age of Steam" is the wooden water tower in the center of the photo. The secondary track from Hollidaysburg to Bedford-Cumberland is at the far right.
